ARMY AL&T
CS-29 design goals plan to move the Army from coalition mission partner networking to a true mission partner environment, where units do not have to set up a new network with every new mission. Fully operational tactical data fabric that converges mission command applications onto a “single pane of glass” and adheres to zero-trust principles will further enhance secure and relevant data exchange with joint and coalition partners. CS-29 will also increase usage of cloud services in a tactical environment, further enabling distribution of warfighter appli- cations. Other CS-29 design goals will enhance line-of-sight and beyond-line-of- sight on-the-move communications and waveform spectrum efficiency.
“We have done a good job in aligning our S&T to program transitions, which have been very supportive in the delivery of the Army [of] 2030. As we're looking ahead toward the design of the Army [of] 2040, we're going to stay aligned from an S&T perspective, but we're also going to get a lot more agile,” said Joe Welch, U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Develop- ment Command C5ISR Center director, assigned to Army Futures Command. “We’re putting a plan together, but we’re [also] making sure that we are able to react quickly as commercial developments accel- erate, to be able to modify that plan and make sure that we adhere to our ability to stay agile in the S&T space.”
CONCLUSION As it evolves with each capability set, the Army expects to retain several key attri- butes in the network of 2030 and 2040: transport-agnostic, data-centric, modern security architecture and cyber electro- magnetic activities dominance. Although the service expects these attributes to retain relevance, it can’t yet know what revolutionary commercial technology, operational landscape or strategic need

could arise 15 or 20 years from now. Te key is to build on current successes and to be open and agile enough to integrate innovation.
“We're looking for you to come to us with your innovation, your transforma- tive approaches, your breakthroughs, R&D, and anything else that you have,” said Raj Iyer, Ph.D., former chief infor- mation officer of the U.S. Army, to the TEM 9 industry audience. “We are tell- ing you the threat environment that our commanders are operating in and what the strategic needs are; then you have to trans- late that to what it means in terms of your capabilities.”
